Fuel pump hose routing

[MartinKemp]

Does it matter which way the fuel hoses go onto the pump? I can't find an "inlet" stamp on the new pump I purchased (or the old pump), and I wasn't smart enough to mark the hoses when I removed the old pump.

As mounted on the bike and looking at the end of the pump, the nipples should be around the 9 and 7 o'clock position. The 9 o'clock goes to the filter.

That was helpful Chris. Installed as suggested and the bike started immediately and runs as hoped (in the shop). Test drive time. Many thanks. Saved me a bunch of time, effort and frustration.

I couldn't remember for sure, and was toooo lazy to go downstairs to the garage to actually look at mine. So I looked up fuel pumps on ebay and there were several pump/filter/bracket assemblies on there.
